"April 6 – April 29 --Take a Spring trip through the craggy boulders of the High Sierra, the glistening waters of a back-country lake and touch on local sites like Malaga Cove through the deft eye and hand of watercolorist Douglas Simms Stenhouse. The 16 Plein-air paintings lining the walls at Hellada Art Center will trigger memories of well-spent days as part of nature’s celebration while bringing home the need to keep that spirit at play in every-day life.

The paintings will go on exhibit April 6 with an opening set for 4-7:30 p.m. on April 14. Hours are Wed. through Sun. 2-7 p.m. 117 Linden Ave. (562) 435-5232, www.hellada.us "
